Pakistan vs England, 2nd Test

When they were No. 1, India were laughed over at their inability to win abroad in conditions totally alien to them. Will England face the same pressing questions? Only time will tell. On that note, this is Pradeep and Ankit Gupta logging off from the comm desk. Join us for the 3rd Test which begins at Dubai from the 3rd of February. For now, cheers and bye..

Misbah-ul-Haq: It was a much needed victory for us, wonderful team effort. We have achieved what we had set for at the start of the series. We were 50-60 short in the first innings but Azhar and Shafiq batted very well in the 2nd innings to set it up for the spinners. They bowled superbly to help us win. The important thing is to do well under pressure and both young boys did very well. I knew we had a chance with 140 on the board. We play spin well but still struggled. The spin was not consistent and it was really challenging playing on this surface. We will look to do well in Dubai. I would like to thank the crowd for the support that we got. It has been great. We felt like we were playing at home.

Strauss: A lot of people in the dressing room are feeling down, but full credit to Pakistan. I do not know how to explain the collapse, they bowled well and we did not get all our options right. It was a great Test wicket that had something for both the bowlers and the batsmen, but they bowled really well. I do not think we got it right in the chase, there were some outstanding performances from our side. Monty, Cook, Trott played really well. It is a challenge to play with the DRS in place. The top-order needs to do well in the next match. We need to comeback strongly.

Rehman: This has been the highlight of my career. This is the 1st time I have got a 5-wkt haul. We felt that if we could get 150 and bowl well, we would win. Ajmal is the no.1 bowler in the world and it gives me great confidence to bowl with him.

Abdur Rehman is the MoM for his outstanding bowling. He had bowling figures of 6/25 in the 2nd innings.

Mike Atherton at the presentations

Questions will be asked about the ability of this English team against spin. They have been rolled out four times against quality spin and have found no answers as yet. With tours of Sri Lanka and India coming up, they need to buckle up or get ready to face more trouble.

The celebrations of the Pakistan camp needs special mention. The support staff and the subs ran out as soon as Gul completed the catch. Gul himself was over the moon, the entire team ran across to their smiling skipper. They played outstanding cricket and deserved all the kudos. Sombre faces in the English camp, they will realise that they were well below their best.

An absolute hammering for the world No. 1 team. They have come crashing down to earth and it is the talented Pakistan team that have felled them down. It is fair to say that they have been spun out by Ajmal, Rehman and Hafeez. It looked like an easy chase but they have been bundled out for less then half the target. Pakistan have a versatile bowling line-up, but it is the spinners who have caused the most damage taking 19 wickets in the match. Ajmal was expected to be the danger man in the 2nd innings but Rehman suprised one and all with figures of 6/25 to bowl out the visitors. These are the best figures on this ground which has also witnessed its first ever result in a test match.

36.1 Abdur Rehman to Anderson, out Caught by Umar Gul!! Match-over, series won by the brilliant Pakistan team. Absolute justice that Rehman takes the last wicket to fall, it was tossed up outside off and spinning back in, Anderson went for the sweep and got a massive top-edge. The ball swirled in the air and when it came down, Gul was at hand to take the catch at deep backward square leg. England have been rolled over for their lowest ever Test score against Pakistan. Anderson c Umar Gul b Abdur Rehman 1(2)

Abdur Rehman to Anderson, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Monty Panesar, left handed bat, comes to the crease

35.6 Ajmal to Prior, out Caught by Shafiq at cover!! 100th Test wicket for Ajmal. The last hope of England is gone and they are staring at a series loss. This was tossed up outside off, it stopped on Prior as he looked to drive, he goes through with the drive and only pops a simple catch to Shafiq at cover. The end is nigh for England. Prior c Shafiq b Ajmal 18(45) [4s-1]

35.4 Ajmal to Swann, out Lbw!! Pakistan are spinning out England. The ripping off-break, Swann gets back and looks to defend, misses it and is caught plumb in front of the middle and leg-stump. Umpire Davies has no doubts about it, the dreaded finger is up and Swann has a disconsolate look on his face. Swann lbw b Ajmal 0(4)

Ajmal to Swann, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

35.3 Ajmal to Swann, no run, quicker delivery angling down the leg, Swann looks to whip and misses

35.2 Ajmal to Swann, no run, Swann has no idea about the doosra. This one straightens after pitching, Swann was playing for the spin and is beaten

35.1 Ajmal to Prior, 3 runs, short and outside off, Prior backs away and cuts, gets the outside edge past the lone slip fielder. They run hard and complete three runs

England have lost only once while chasing anything less than 150..

34.6 Abdur Rehman to Swann, no run, tossed up on the stumps, Swann lunges forward in defence

Graeme Swann, right handed bat, comes to the crease

34.5 Abdur Rehman to Broad, out Bowled!! No need to appeal for this. An absolute ripper of a delivery from Abdur Rehman, it was tossed up nicely outside off and spins back into Broad, he was playing against the spin and creates a massive gap between bat and pad. The off-pole is out of the ground and England are in tatters. Maiden 5-wicket haul for Rehman. This was a classic left arm spinner's dismissal, an absolute treat to watch. Broad b Abdur Rehman 0(2)

Abdur Rehman to Broad, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

34.4 Abdur Rehman to Broad, no run, Loud appeal for LBW. Abdur Rehman gets over-excited and screeches an appeal, that one struck Broad well outside off though

Stuart Broad, left handed bat, comes to the crease

34.3 Abdur Rehman to Jonathan Trott, out Lbw!! Rehman gets the big fish. That is absolutely plumb. This one pitched on the middle and straightened. Jonathan Trott went back in defence, misses it and is rapped flush on the pads below the knee-roll. Umpire Oxenford has an easy decision to make, that would have crashed into the middle of middle. Trott has a dejected look on his face as he walks back into the hut. Jonathan Trott lbw b Abdur Rehman 1(11)

Abdur Rehman to Jonathan Trott, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

34.2 Abdur Rehman to Jonathan Trott, leg byes, FOUR, rare poor ball from Abdur Rehman, slides this one down the leg, Jonathan Trott looks to flick and misses, the ball rolls off the pads and races away to the boundary

34.1 Abdur Rehman to Prior, 1 run, flatter delivery straying on the pads, clipped behind square for a single

33.6 Ajmal to Jonathan Trott, no run, Beautiful doosra from Ajmal, Jonathan Trott does not spot it and plays back, the ball spins across and raps him on the backfoot in front of off-stump. The ball might have just clipped the outer half of the off-stump

33.5 Ajmal to Prior, 1 run, Ajmal drifts this one down the legs, swept away behind square for a single

33.4 Ajmal to Prior, no run, ambitious from Prior, looks to drive a flighted delivery against the spin and gets an inside edge towards the onside

31.6 Ajmal to Prior, no run, pushed through by Ajmal, Prior lunges forward and misses, the ball strikes him on the pad in front of leg, would have sailed down again

31.5 Ajmal to Prior, no run, flighted delivery on the stumps, Prior presses forward in defence

31.4 Ajmal to Prior, no run, this was floated from outside off, Prior lunged forward to defend and was beaten by one that breaks back in, the ball was spinning too much though and would have missed leg

Pakistan have gone for a LBW review against Prior, looks like sliding down the leg, the verdict is NOT-OUT

31.3 Ajmal to Prior, no run, loud appeal for LBW, but there was definite glove on that, Prior looks to sweep and gets an inside edge onto his pads

30.2 Abdur Rehman to Jonathan Trott, 1 run, run-out chance missed. It was short and outside off, Jonathan Trott steered it away towards short third man, Gul dives to his right and prevents the ball going further, Prior was charging in for a single while Jonathan Trott stood frozen, the keeper shouts at Gul to throw it to him, Gul does exactly that, that gives Jonathan Trott plenty of time to scramble to the other end. Adnan's throw to the bowler is awful and Jonathan Trott escapes

29.3 Ajmal to Prior, no run, tossed up on the stumps, Prior gets back in defence

29.2 Ajmal to Prior, no run, pushed through by Ajmal, Prior gets back and flicks it towards short fine

28.6 Abdur Rehman to Strauss, out Lbw!! Strauss' insistence on staying back has cost him. This was tossed up outside off and spins back from the rough, Strauss went back to nudge it towards the onside and misses, the ball struck him on the pads in line with the off-stump and was going on to strike the leg-stump. Strauss has to go and England have lost half their side. Strauss lbw b Abdur Rehman 32(100) [4s-3]

Abdur Rehman to Strauss, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Strauss has been given out LBW, he has asked for a review. Is the height an issue? Umpire's call and Strauss has to go

22.2 Abdur Rehman to Prior, no run, trifle short and on the stumps, Prior gets back in defence

Pakistan have fought back superbly. Not many would have given them a chance after setting a target of 145 but the spinners have pulled them back into the game. Hafeez started it by dismissing Cook. Ajmal joined the fun by dismissing Bell while Rehman put the icing on the cake dismissing KP and Morgan in the space of 3 balls. England find themselves at 39/4, still needing 106 more runs to win. Jonathan Agnew has tweeted that Trott is sick and that is the reason for not coming in at his usual No.3 position. How badly England have missed the calm presence of their No. 3 batsman. Join us in a short while for what should be another enthralling session of play.

Welcome back..

Another session that belonged to England. Pakistan have lost all their remaining recognised batsmen and have a lead of 128 in the bank. Azhar Ali scored his 13th Test fifty, it was an innings of grit and determination. Ajmal and Rehman have frustrated England for some time and have added 26 valuable runs for the 8th wicket. Pakistan will need more for Ajmal and Rehman to have a say in the 4th innings. Join us at 12:40 local time (14:10 IST) for the post lunch session.

That is lunch on Day 4

91.6 Panesar to Ajmal, no run, Loud appeal for LBW, this one was pushed quicker and on the stumps, it straightened after pitching and raps Ajmal low on the pads in front of middle. Only a nick could have saved Ajmal, hot-spot shows a tiny speck, if that was off the bat, then it is a great decision by umpire Oxenford. England have no reviews left to challenge the decision.

83.5 Broad to Adnan Akmal, out Caught by Strauss!! Adnan Akmal is a goner and Pakistan are falling apart here. Lack of application from Adnan Akmal, he was looking to play some big shots in this over. This was full and nipping away from outside off, Adnan Akmal went chasing after that, gets a thick outside edge that nestles itself safely in the hands of Strauss at 1st slip.

It is a foggy and chilly morning in Abu Dhabi. Anderson and Broad might just like it..

Panesar was an inspired man as he threatened to rout the Pakistani batting line-up singlehandedly. Shafiq and Azhar Ali then put on a stubborn stand to frustrate the English bowlers and help Pakistan gain a slender lead. They ended day 3 at 125/4, leading by 55 runs. Day 4 beckons another battle between the bat and the ball, England will look for some early wickets while Pakistan will hope for this partnership to blossom. Hello and a warm welcome to Day 4 of the exciting 2nd Test between Pakistan and England. Stay tuned for further updates..

That's all we have from the commentary desk for today. Do join us tomorrow at 11:30 AM IST i.e. 10:00 AM local time for the live coverage of day 4. Till then, have a great evening.

That will be Stumps on Day 3. These two have stuck it out in the middle. They came in at 54/4, a time when Misbah had fallen and the innings was in danger of collapsing. Right now, the partnership is worth 71 runs. More importantly, they have seen through a period of play where both the England spinners and Stuart Broad were at their incisive best. Pakistan will want them to continue, for effectively their score is 55/4. Looking at England's batting performance in the first innings, it seems that even 200 might not be enough. In a nutshell, tomorrow's day is going to be as riveting as the first three have been.

Welcome back..

This session belonged to the England spinners without a doubt. They stuck to a stump-to-stump line and in the process accounted for three Pakistani wickets. Panesar impressed and the fact that he got a Test giant like Younis Khan out with a delivery that spun across the bat, will give him a boost. Pakistan need some partnerships and the current one looks good. This match might go either way and today's final session will be a crucial one.

He is the one person responsible for England getting a sizeable lead of 70 runs. Cook was the highest scorer of the innings, with 94 runs. Overall, it has been an improved batting performance from the visitors. Pakistan will have to bat really well if they have to win this match. Stay tuned to find out what happens

Good session for England. They lost three wickets but have managed a handy lead of 66 runs. It was a lot more easier to bat today and Broad made the most of it with a sparkling unbeaten 58. Bell fought for some time making 29 while Swann chipped in with 15. Anderson has looked confident while adding useful runs with Broad. The bowling has been disciplined but Pakistan will know that they cannot allow this lead to grow. Join us at 12:40 local time (14:10 IST) for the resumption.

The players are out in the middle and we are set for what should be another fine day of cricket

David Lloyd feels that the cracks are showing up and it will get wider as the day progresses. There will be uneven bounce and batting last will be very difficult. It is advantage Pakistan as of now.

Saeed Ajmal: The new ball was turning but it was slow turn. The two batsmen were settled but Rehman got rid of Trott and that helped me. We tried to get some spin by flighting the ball, but the turn was very slow. When the ball got softer, Misbah told me to push it through quicker and that helped me to get rewards. We are well prepared and we will hope to dismiss England as cheaply as possible.

England were coasting along at a major degree of comfort when Cook and Trott were out there in the middle. Ajmal magic though brought Pakistan back into the contest as he picked 3 wickets to leave the match in balance. England still trail by 50 runs and will have the final recognised pair in the middle. Hello, and welcome to Day 3 of the 2nd Test between Pakistan and England.

The spinners have brought Pakistan back into the game. It looked like England all the way when Cook and Trott were batting without any hassles. Trott and then Cook's dismissal turned the fortunes around. The pitch suddenly resembled a minefield. KP and Morgan succumbed to the pressure that was built and England have frittered away the advantage. Ajmal looked unplayable in the last hour and ended with three wickets while Rehman gave him solid support and scalped Trott. That ends a fascinating Day 2 with England still trailing by 50 runs. Join us for what should be another fine day tomorrow. For now, Cheers and Bye..

Welcome back..

Nervy session for England and they have done well to get over it for the loss of just one wicket. Strauss did not look all that confident against the spinners and tamely perished pushing at one from Hafeez. Cook has looked very solid and seems to be reading the spinners well. Trott has been his usual self. The spinners have got purchase from the wicket and will look for more in the second session. Join us in 40 minutes time for the post-lunch session.

Strauss needs a score. His last Test ton was against Australia at the Gabba in the 2010-11 Ashes.

The players are back out in the middle. Gul will open the bowling for Pakistan.

England came into the day hoping to bundle out Pakistan cheaply and that is exactly what they have managed to do. Broad bowled an exceptional first over and got rid of the dangerous Misbah before Anderson ripped apart the final two batsmen. Pakistan will be gutted with what transpired today but they have a score on the board. The pitch is showing signs of spin and England will have to bat very well to put themselves in pole position.

96.4 Anderson to Junaid Khan, out Caught by Swann!! Brilliant stuff from England. It was short of a length delivery that reared up on Junaid Khan, he tried to fend it away, gets the outside edge that lobs to Swann at 2nd slip.

95.4 Broad to Misbah-ul-Haq, out Lbw!! Big wicket for Broad and England. This one shapes back in from outside off, Misbah-ul-Haq was pressing forward, was beaten by the inward movement and was struck just below the knee roll. The impact was on the off-stump and was hitting the middle. That was plumb and Pakistan lose their skipper. Misbah-ul-Haq lbw b Broad 84(173) [4s-5 6s-4]

Broad to Misbah-ul-Haq, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Misbah has been given out LBW. He has asked for a review. No inside edge and he seems to be struck in front of the off-stump. Misbah seems to be in trouble. He is OUT

The players are out in the middle. Anderson will open the bowling first up

Pitch Report: It is slightly warmer and the wind has dropped. A total around 300-320 will be a decent score on the board. There are dents in the pitch which will continue to assist the bowlers. A 300 score will be very decent first innings score, feels Bumble.

Day 1 was a day of attrition. Misbah stood firm even as England chipped away at the other end. The skipper played a fine hand to help the visitors end the Day at 256/7. Pakistan will need a bigger effort from their skipper if they are to post a challenging first innings total. Hello, and welcome to Day 2 of the 2nd Test between Pakistan and England from Abu Dhabi. Stay tuned for further updates..

That will be all from us today. Live cricket action continues as New Zealand take on Zimbabwe tomorrow at Napier. India will continue their battle against Australia. This is Sid V with Sriram saying good bye. See you!

However, Pakistan will be disappointed that none of the top order batsmen capitalized on their starts. Shafiq fell to a poor stroke while the top order struggled to get going after a solid start. England will be cursing themselves for dropping three chances, including one of Misbah when he was on 30. They will want to pick up the remaining wickets tomorrow and ensure that they keep Pakistan to below 300.

Both teams will be happy with their work today. England's bowlers continued to plug away and they gained success. However, Misbah was the pillar of strength for Pakistan. His unbeaten 83 was studded with four huge sixes as he pushed Pakistan along.

Abdur Rehman b Swann 0(7)

Swann to Abdur Rehman, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Graeme Swann [17.0-1-52-2] is back into the attack

The new ball is now available. Will England take it? Yes, they are going to take it. Strauss would have been tempted to continue with the spinners but Strauss will take it.

Good length delivery and it nips back in sharply, Younis looks to work it to the leg side, misses it and the ball brushes the pad, takes the off stump out of the ground, massive wicket this for England, the way how that off-stump was sent cartwheeling, it reminds me of the way how Mohammad Asif dismissed VVS Laxman at Karachi in 2006.

Welcome back to the second session. England are on top in this Test and they will want to continue their good work. Pakistan have their work cut out as they look to negotiate the spin twins of Swann and Panesar.

It has been a good session for England. Pakistan emerged unscathed in the first hour but the spinners turned the tide in the second. Swann and Panesar generated a lot of turn and bounce on this wicket. Umar misjudged a straight delivery from Swann and had his off stump knocked back. Hafeez misjudged the length and Panesar had his first wicket. Azhar Ali survived a torrid session just before lunch and Pakistan will have their work cut out in the second session. Join us at 2:10 PM IST, which is 12:40 PM local for the post-lunch session.

Right, the England players are out in the middle. Out come the two openers. Slightly cloudy conditions at Abu Dhabi. Rare sight. Nice to see Panesar back after a gap of two and a half years. This is Sid V to take you through for the day.

Trott: We performed poorly in Dubai and we have to overcome this loss. We have moved on swiftly after a loss. We had a general chat with the coach and we just focused on the basics. We did not change our approach to the bowler. We have to be a bit more pro-active and have a positive mindset against Ajmal. It is awkward to read spinners. In his case, we look at the loop. I had good success against him in England.

Umar Gul: I am happy with the performance in the previous match. I am enjoying the role of being the leader of the bowling attack. I am focusing on my line and length. I was trying to reverse swing the full ball and I am going all out to achieve it. The last match against Sri Lanka had something for the bowlers. If the bowlers hit the right areas, they get some seam movement. The way how we performed in the second innings in Dubai was great and we hope to continue with the good work.

Pitch Report: This is a dry pitch. There is some dead grass on this track. David Lloyd says that it might spin later in the day. This pitch has lots of runs on offer for the batsmen.

Strauss: It is a dry wicket. We will have to bowl well with the new ball. It will be difficult to score. Monty Panesar replaces Chris Tremlett. We have to bowl well in the first session. The spinners can bowl the bulk of the overs and that will help the seamers. The match in Dubai was a wake up call for us.

Misbah: It looks like a different Abu Dhabi wicket. We have two spinners. Junaid Khan replaces Aizaz Cheema. Junaid bowled really well in the previous match against Sri Lanka. We have to improve our batting. We have to convert the fifties into hundreds. We have to be positive.

Pakistan have won the toss and elected to bat

The news from the England camp is that Chris Tremlett is out for the rest of the series due to a back injury. He will fly back home today. This could mean that either Graham Onions or Monty Panesar might feature in the match today.

Welcome to the 2nd Test between Pakistan and England from Abu Dhabi. England were soundly thrashed at Dubai by a clinical Pakistan team and they will look for redemption in this match. They had no clue against Saeed Ajmal and they will be eager to get the better of him. Pakistan, on the other hand, have blossomed into a superb unit under the captaincy of Misbah-ul-Haq. Stay tuned for the toss and the team updates.

Preview by Pradeep

England's joy at being the best Test team of the world has been short-lived. As the two teams travel a few kilometres away from Dubai to the magnificent Sheikh Zayed stadium in Abu Dhabi, all eyes will be on how England respond to the humiliating 3-day defeat at the hands of a team in resurgence. Questions have been asked about their ability to play spin and they will magnify further if England fail to put up a show at Abu Dhabi.

Pakistan are on a high after what has been termed as one of their best ever Test victories and will be further motivated at the slanderous accusations of the British media against their ace off-spinner, Saeed Ajmal. A humdinger of a contest awaits between a side riding high on self-belief and confidence up against one that wants to show to the world that they are no home track bullies and completely deserve the No. 1 ranking.

Pakistan: With every Test match, Misbah ul Haq is fast proving himself to be one of the better captains Pakistan has ever had. His conservative approach might have been termed boring but his tactical nous has had a damning effect on the opposition. After a long period, Pakistan have found a relatively stable pair at the top and the middle order has been able to make the most of the solidity provided by Mohd Hafeez and Taufeeq Umar. The captain himself has led by example while Younis Khan is batting like a dream. The last time the batting unit failed to deliver was against the West Indies in Providence in April, 2011 and this was also the last time that Misbah and his men tasted a Test defeat.

Pakistan have been blessed with great variety in their bowling attack, and it is no doubt one of the best they have had in recent years. Umar Gul has led the pace department well and has got good support from Aizaz Cheema. Saeed Ajmal has been the talk of the town for a lot of reasons. His much promised teesra remained a work of fiction, but the English batsmen were left bamboozled by an assortment of off-breaks and the doosra. While Ajmal has left the audience captivated and the opponents mystified, the left arm spinner Abdur Rehman has lent admirable support to his senior partner. Hafeez has chipped in with his off-breaks to make the attack look impregnable.

England: It goes to the credit of the English batsmen that they have not been drawn into a war of words over the bowling action of Saeed Ajmal, but they will know that they have to come up with a better batting effort if they are to stay alive in the Test series. Alastair Cook and Ian Bell, the shining lights during their ascendency to the No. 1 spot had a rare double failure while the rest of the batsmen barring Matt Prior failed to offer any resistance. An under par score in both the innings was not what coach Andy Flower would have bargained for. The tentativeness of the batsmen against quality spin was evident and the batting coach Graham Gooch has quite a task in preparing the visitors ahead of tougher examinations against spin.

The bowling unit performed as a group despite missing another spinner at times. James Anderson and Stuart Broad showed that they could bowl under any conditions while Swann wheeled away posing plenty of problems for the batsmen. Chris Tremlett went wicketless, the first time ever in his international career but the bowling unit looks settled and will hope for some support from the batsmen.

Team News:

Chris Tremlett is a doubtful starter after sustaining a back injury. He might be replaced by either Graham Onions if England are to go in with a third seamer or Monty Panesar if conditions dictate a second spinner.

Pakistan have no reasons to make any changes to the winning combination. They might look to replace the sedate Asad Shafiq with the explosive Umar Akmal.

Trivia:

When Cook and Strauss stride out to the middle, it will be the 100th time they will be opening together.

Abu Dhabi has hosted 2 Tests involving Pakistan. Both Tests have ended in a draw.

Final Word:

Another trial by spin awaits the visitors, one that will determine the eventual result of the series.
